Design is that which adds value to our surroundings as we
strive to improve life. We appreciate it because we know that
not everything that allows us to progress has such good
intentions. On the contrary; some dynamics that we can’t do
without are directly harmful to the health of our planet, the
health of our culture, and even, simply, to our health.
Design and industry came together so that we could
achieve many things that were once the reserve of a few.
We have come a long way together. This is why we’re
now asking our designers to incorporate environmental
responsibility into their toolkits, which we view as imperative
for the future of our species.
The new frontier of design involves retrieving the essence
of what it means to craft a well-made product, with the soul
and authenticity worthy of an object that is going to accompany
us, if only for a little while, on this journey we call life; It involves
recapturing the nature that makes objects –lamps- unique
items that perhaps transcend ourselves to illuminate- in the
real and figurative sense- other generations.
The designer and the manufacturer pay tribute to those
people, almost always nameless, who close the virtuous circle
of a well-made product, of an item that boasts more than just
form and function. They acknowledge the love for a well-
finished product, the eye for detail and the meaning of the
concept of industrial craftsmanship.
Marset lamps are made within the confines of the company
by craftsmen and artisans working together and taking part
enthusiastically and intimately in the entire process: from the
genesis on paper, to the kiln, to the die cutter, to the finishing
table, with an expert eye that can discern a job well done.
A tribute to the hand of man that, above the machine,
reconciles us with our environment and makes us believe
in a better future.
